Guild Wars 2

I know all the arguments for and against an LFG tool.

But the current problem with dungeons is that only a handful of them are being farmed.

Go stand outside Arah or CoF you’ll see 30-40 people standing around looking for groups.

Go stand outside of Sorrow’s embrace, you’ll see maybe a lower level just running to grab the waypoint and thats it.

Add in the fact that because each zone is on a different chat manual LFG is not efficient.

Blizzard had to give out a lot of bribes to keep players from jumping ship the moment The Oculus popped. I’m not anti-Dungeon Finder, but it’s going to take fixes to the content, not just the matchmaking.

Given the obvious resemblance to wow I’ll say what I think of my experience since I played there before and after the lfg tool…
I’ve never been much of a spammer so I hardly would ask or offer party too much and I hate enter a game just to be sitting somewhere waiting until someone offers a group either so it never was too easy for me to get a group fast…unless it was with guildies or friends.
So I was pretty excited when the lfg tool came out…finally I could get invited fast and even with people from other servers…but then I started to see what this made of the game…And eventually (actually pretty soon) it got even worse…
You didn’t even had to travel to the dungeon anymore, you’d get teleported so you could just skip all the story and surroundings of the dungeon…all dungeon lore went straight to the garbage.
You’d get a bonus experience and some items or badges (to later trade for items) for using the lfg tool, so if you took the easy way you actually got better rewards than by taking the harder one and so, obviously everyone would take the “easy way” to get that better reward…
And finally the attitude of the players, everyone wanted to get it done as fast as possible so they could get the final prize and if they didn’t like their party or even the dungeon that came out they’d whine all the way or just simply leave…they didn’t care and the rest of the party didn’t care either, ‘cause everyone would get a new dungeon or a new partner fast and easy…And god forbid you wanted to take a 5 minute delay to beat an optional boss, they’d laugh in your face and kick you almost instantly…

So my suggestion would be, yes make some sort of lfg but, only for arranging the group, nothing else…
I’ve also seen a couple of good suggestions out there like purchasing some item that would let you send a message to everyone on the server (maybe even select the lvl range to wich you want to send it). Or a new channel visible by everyone (although I think this would be impossible to read because of all the spam) but still they’re good options.
